Note2015The History of Houghton Surname Research by Charles J. Vella, PhD (C)

Dr. Douglass Houghton (1810-1845):

Michigan geologist who compiled an unpublished list of English Houghtons circa 1825.

Joseph Willard (1798-1865):

Topographical and historical sketches of the town of Lancaster 1826, (Lancaster MA):

First to erroneously report John and Ralph Houghton of Lancaster MA as "cousins". A theory disproved by current DNA evidence.

Jason Houghton (1768-1843):

Wrote a Lineage of the Houghton Family circa 1828


Houghton Association (1846-1868):
The original Houghton Association was created circa 1846 and lasted until 1855. It was then reorganized in 1868 and later dissolved circa 1870. The purpose of the association was to collect information relative to unclaimed Houghton property in England, reported to belong to the Houghton family in America. Clearly a get rich scheme. There were three meetings of the Houghton Association: one at Winchendon, MA, on Apr. 21, 1868, one at Groton, June 3, 1869 and at Milton, June 5, 1869. Columbus Smith spoke at two of them. About 220 Members paid $5 in 1868 to join the Houghton association hoping to receive $200 in any recovered property. Fisher Rice, agent of the Association, interviewed Judge Jacob Houghton, who refused to join, but gave him an introduction to Sir Henry Bold Hoghton Bt in England. While John Wesley Houghton mentions it's history in his genealogy, he had nothing to do with the Association.


Fisher M. Rice (1847):

The Houghton Association: report of the agent to England.
Imprint: New York: Jared W. Bell, printer, 1848. Available at Higginson Books.

Francis W. Houghton (1835-1911) :

Houghton Memorial, 1869 Compiled descendants of Jason and Caty Houghton, of the Ralph Houghton line. 670 descendants of Ralph Houghton's line were published in Columbus Smith's 1869 Report to the Houghton Association. This consititutes the first published genealogy of the Houghton family.

Columbus Smith (1869):

Report to the Houghton Association, 1869 (author; relied heavily on Francis W. Houghton's data; he wrote 8 other family surname reports)

Josiah Houghton (1800-1861):

Wrote a genealogy of John Houghton of Lancaster MA, after supposedly spending a fortune in getting family records and history to enable him to claim and secure property in England.

Rev. Royal and Cecelia Houghton (1868):

Wrote a diary that contains information about their Houghton family.

David Anthony Keizer (1857- ):

History and Genealogy of the Houghton Family, the descendants of Capt. Timothy Houghton who emigrated to Nova Scotia: 1896

This is the second published Houghton genealogy. John Wesley Houghton in his 1912 Houghton Genealogy, Almira White in her White Genealogy, as well as Marshall McClanahan in his 1957 Houghton genealogies, all used the data first compiled and published by David A. Keizer in his 1896 genealogy of the Canadian descendants of Capt. Timothy Houghton of Massachusetts. Keizer noted that he had read H. S. Nourse's Early Records of Lancaster, MA, as well as his Lancaster MA BMD Records, and his Military Annals of Lancaster MA. He also read J. Willard's Sketches of Lancaster MA of 1826. He erroneously believed John Houghton the Emigrant of Lancaster MA was the John, age 4/40 of the "Abigail". He includes 1852 descendants of Capt. Timothy Houghton. Available at Higginson Books.

Charles Edward Church (1835-) & Ernest Percy Webber (1874-): D. Keizer' Genealogy of the Houghton Family. 1896 above is misattributed to both of these individuals in several references; (see "The Sedition Trial of Timothy Houghton" by Barry Cahill; Mr. Cahill gives C.E. Church as compiler of Keizer's work)

Henry Stedman Nourse (1831-1903):

Early Records of Lancaster MA (1884)

Lancaster MA VRs (1890)

Lancasteria (1900)

Includes many early Houghton vital records; He was a John Houghton of Lancaster, MA descendant.


Almira Larkin White (1900):

Genealogy of the Descendants of John White of Wenham and Lancaster, Massachusetts, 3 volumes,1900-1905

Compiled many early Houghtons

Caroline Keyes Houghton Squires (1852-):

The Houghton Family by Thaddeus William Harris: Handwritten genealogy copied from manuscripts belonging to Mrs Caroline K. Houghton Squires, daughter of Simon W. Houghton to whom these papers originally belonged.


Daniel Merrick Wheeler (1846-):

He wrote a genealogy of the Whitingham VT Houghtons: 1903

John Barber White (1909)::

Descendants of John Barber of Worcester, Mass., 1714-1909, 1909

Includes a number of early Ralph Houghton descendants

Dr. John Wesley Houghton (1834-1924):

Houghton Genealogy. Descendants of Ralph and John Houghton, 1912

The third published Houghton genealogy, considered by many as the Houghton Genealogy. Very few place references; compiled from Houghtons sending him data; no citations. Many errors. But an outstanding job for a pre-computer age genealogist. While he reported the English Houghtons, he disavowed the "Ralph is Radcliffe of English De Hoghton ancestry theory". He was a Ralph Houghton descendant. He listes 8350 Houghton descendants.J. W. Houghton obviously used Francis W. Houghton's material (esp. British ancestry) of 1869. Available at Higginson Books.

Arthur Wellington Clark (1850-):

Author of an unpublished genealogy of the Houghton Family circa 1900; Dr. JWH offered to co-author the Houghton Genealogy with him; critical of JWH, lists corrections.

John Calvin Lawrence Clark (1871):

A famous New England historian; he researched the Houghtons with Dr. Harris A. Houghton.

Annie Lane Burr and Thomas Hovey Gage (1925):

John Houghton of Lancaster, Mass., and some of his descendants, 1925 (first and only NEGHR publication of a Houghton line). The 4th published Houghton genealogy.

Dr. Harris Ayers Houghton (1874-1946):

Houghton researcher before 1930 (used many county histories).

His work is in the Chicago SAR Library. McClanahan attributes his genealogy of the Houghton family as being "from early Harris Ayres Houghton data", as well as stating "Possibly Dr. Frederic L. Weis used his data in his Early Families of Lancaster, Mass."

Clarence Winthrop Bowen, Ph.D. (1852-):

History of Woodstock, CT, c 1930

Lists some Houghton lines in Connecticut

Luella Houghton (1879-1945):

She wrote a 32 page Houghton genealogy of her family, "We Houghtons and our beloved Shed-Members", 1938. The 5th published Houghton genealogy.

Rev. Frederick Lewis Weis (1941):

Early Families of Lancaster MA, 1941

While he states that that "This is the most comprehensive and factually accurate book ever written about Houghtons.", but only includes 118 Houghtons. It is based on the 1912 Houghton Genealogy data focusing on the early English Houghtons, and his own family, the descendants of William Houghton of Wisconsin. He again restates and accepts the "Ralph and John are cousins" and the "John & Ralph Houghton of Lancaster were on the Abigail" theories. But it is interesting read about some interesting Houghtons and he does have great pictures.

ResearchKorman v. Carpenter, Virginia Supreme Court, June 13, 1975

JAMES W. KORMAN, ADMINISTRATOR, ETC. v. ARTHUR J. CARPENTER, JR., COMMITTEE, ETC:
On September 19, 1971, appellee's ward, Alfred B. Houghton, fatally shot his wife, appellant's decedent, Katherine Pollard Maddux Houghton. On his plea of guilty Houghton was convicted of second degree murder and sentenced to serve twenty years in the penitentiary. At the time of the homicide the parties, although not divorced, were living separate and apart, having prior thereto executed a separation and property settlement agreement. Mrs. Houghton was survived by her husband, both parents and two brothers.

The administrator of the decedent's estate brought an action for wrongful death on behalf of Mrs. Houghton's parents and brothers against Houghton's committee. In his motion for judgment the administrator made no claim of economic loss and sought only damages for solace. Houghton's committee demurred on the ground that no action could be maintained under Virginia's Wrongful Death Act (Code § 8-633) since Mrs. Houghton would not have been able to maintain an action for assault against her husband had she lived. The trial court sustained the demurrer, relying upon Keister's Adm'r v. Keister's Ex'ors, 123 Va. 157, 96 S.E. 315 (1918), and the administrator has appealed.

BiographyLieutenant Colonel Jean Houghton, USA (Ret.)
A native of Boston and a graduate of St. Margaret's Hospital School of Nursing in Dorchester, Jean Houghton is the daughter and sister of Navy veterans. However, Lt. Col. Jean Houghton broke with family tradition and opted to serve her country by enlisting in the Army. Though Lt. Col. Houghton served in Korea after the War, she saw plenty of action during the Korean Revolution in 1959 and 1960, which provided excellent preparation for front line nursing in Vietnam in 1966 and 1967. During her 28 years of service, Lt. Col. Houghton did, indeed, "see the world," with tours of duty in Germany, France, and Japan, in addition to Korea, and Vietnam. Stateside, the Lt. Col. served in various locations west of the Mississippi, with a final assignment at Fort Devins in Massachusetts. A model of Yankee ingenuity, Lt. Col. Houghton enjoyed the challenge of adapting, improvising, and creating equipment in the difficult and restricted conditions of war. Home at last, she provides a family anchor for her 10 nieces and nephews and fifteen great nieces and nephews.

BiographyLiz Houghton Cunha, 2012: Dad is dealing with dementia & is really disoriented. I knew he would be messed up after spending a month up here in Massachusetts. He has been home in Florida for 3 weeks now,anyway,he is at the point where he still remembers the past. Through the years he has told us many stories of his childhood(boy what a movie this disfuntional family would make) You have all the information that I know of concerning dad's side of the family. We honestly didn't know about his 1/2 brothers & sisters from Florida until 10 or so years ago and dad was not one to speak much about them. He was very emotional about the situation. He, Virginia & Jean were all scarred from the scandal that his father brought them into. They remember the fights of Florence & Casco concerning Amy and was ridiculed all through their school years..you see...Amy was a school teacher in the city of Boston & was having an affair & a child (children) out of wedlock. The school actually changed their rules because of her.
